Charlestown Nevis (November 29, 2005) The Parent Teachers Association (PTA) of the Ivor Walters Primary School at Prospect on Tuesday contributed to the development of the school with the presentation of one HP Desk Jet Printer.
Speaking at a brief ceremony during the morning devotion, President of the PTA, Ms. Jasmine Herbert told the students, having been approached by the principal, she decided to make contact and was fortunately to make one phone call and received a donor.
"I am grateful to the firm for coming forward and donating this printer," she said. "I wish its management success in its business endeavours."
The president, in handing over the printer to the school said, "Mr. Daniel, on behalf of the Ivor Walters Primary School Parent Teachers Association, I present to you this brand new HP Desk Jet printer. I want you to take good care of it and I'm sure it will assist you in completing your daily task here at the school."
Principal Wakely Daniel expressed his gratitude on behalf of the staff, pupils and the community of Brown Hill and Prospect, saying, It is indeed happy and quite ecstatic that we have an active Parents Teachers Association at the school. You don't find that in many schools.
"So Ms. Herbert, on behalf of the staff, pupils and everyone at the Ivor Walters Primary School and also the Prospect and Brown Hill community, let me give you our heartfelt thanks for sourcing this printer. It will certainly be used to benefit the children at the school. We are indeed indebted to you and the PTA."
